NEW ORLEANS - The Tulane (14-5) baseball team defeated Elon College
(5-14) 4-1 Saturday evening. After pushing the game time back five hours
due to inclimate weather, RHP Henry Bonilla (4-1) recorded his first
complete game and picked up his fourth win of the season. Green Wave
designated hitter Steve Shirley hit his second home run of the year.

The Green Wave's first run of the evening was driven home by a Jake
Gautreau (3B) sacrifice hit in the second inning. In the third, a Jason
Sparks (RF) sacrifice fly allowed James Jurries (2B) to score, which
gave the Wave a 2-0 lead. Scott Brendle (RF) put Elon's only run on the
board with a fifth inning homer over the right field fence. Tulane
answered with two runs scored in the bottom of the fifth. These included
Shirley's home run and a run scored on an RBI sacrifice fly by Chad
Sutter (c).

In nine innings, Bonilla gave up one earned run, four hits, struck out
seven batters and walked one.

Tulane plays Elon on Sunday at Turchin Stadium for a third and final
time. First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m.
